In a subsequent post, Paul said: \u201cSo many women are hurt by high profile men who just do what they want with no consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get told all of the time that if we speak out then our lives will be ruined, our kids will be impacted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get labeled as \u2018crazy\u2019 or defamatory when we tell the truth. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday I have had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hipkins has two children with Jade. The pair were together for years before marrying in 2020 in a ceremony at Premier House. <\/p>\n

The Herald understands Hipkins is seeking legal advice about the social media post.<\/p>\n

Labour finance spokeswoman Barbara Edmonds, speaking to media this afternoon, said she hadn\u2019t seen the allegations and hadn\u2019t yet spoken to Hipkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarriage break-ups are hard, especially when you have children involved in it, so Chris will talk to his statement or Chris will provide whatever comment he wants to provide but ultimately for a lot of us, it\u2019s to make sure that their children are okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hipkins\u2019 office has been approached about the second post. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a subsequent post, Paul said: \u201cSo many women are hurt by high profile men who just do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[2055,76066,434,53069,7832,177315,18,89211,117,177316,177314,877,38192,55507,25513,177313,19,17,46547,1332,38771,24375,4189,7973,177037,15836,62473,1213,11808],"class_list":["post-387862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-about","tag-allegations","tag-celebrities","tag-chris","tag-decision","tag-defended","tag-eire","tag-enough","tag-entertainment","tag-exhusband","tag-exwife","tag-facebook","tag-former","tag-had","tag-her","tag-hipkins","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jade","tag-labour","tag-leader","tag-make","tag-number","tag-on","tag-paul","tag-post","tag-saying","tag-to","tag-wife"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116238833893477251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
